For the first time in program history, Nixa crowned a state champion in golf. Senior Peyton Burbridge outlasted the field in a rain-shortened tournament in Columbia, Missouri. Peyton wasn't sure how his senior year would go after undergoing knee and wrist surgery last fall, but he battled and joined former teammate Noah Naugle as the only players in program history to earn state medals in golf.

- SUMMIT
Earlier this year, the teachers at Summit Intermediate read the book “50 Strategies to Boost Cognitive Engagement” as part of an effort to revamp building-wide professional development. They met three times to discuss the book, share ideas, and reflect on what they learned. Each teacher then selected a favorite strategy and partnered with colleagues to present on that during the school's Lead and Learn day. The goal of the experience was to encourage teachers to learn from one another while continuing to grow professionally.

As the school year draws to a close and the senior class prepares for graduation, it is a great time to take a moment to recognize the hard work of students who have excelled. The fine arts department held a signing day to recognize those students in band, theatre, choir, and art who are moving on to college and have committed to a university where they will continue their studies.

- NIXA HIGH
Nixa High School students in Advanced Journalism and College Composition classes had the opportunity to work with the Give 5 organization, organized by the United Way, to learn about local non-profits and their missions. They met with the Child Advocacy Center, the Drew Lewis Foundation, Women’s Medical Respite, and the Nixa Education Foundation. The students eventually settled on working with NEF, where they created a video and a brochure highlighting the work they do inside our schools.

- JTSD
Two years ago, the second grade class at JTSD worked on building a pollinator wall to support birds, bees, and butterflies. This year, those same students-now fourth graders-returned alongside current second graders to update the wall and the garden, preparing them for the warm summer months. The project culminated with a ribbon-cutting celebrating the school’s national recognition from the National Wildlife Federation for creating a school-wide habitat.

- JUNIOR HIGH
The four science teachers at Nixa Junior High challenged their 7th-grade honors students to take on a big ask: develop and present a science project for the school community during an evening showcase. Students prepared throughout the first semester, collaborating on a group project to build their confidence. Their strong performance in front of family and friends convinced the teachers to move forward with plans to make this an annual event.
